DSC Convention Moves to Atlanta

As always, DSC looks forward to our 2024 Convention & Sporting Expo in Dallas, January 11-14, 2024. We are excited to see you there, and I want to personally thank you for your past and continued support of DSC. As you know, the DSC Convention kicks off each year as North America’s first major hunting and conservation show. Inspired by true southern hospitality, we are proud to have delivered a world-class event in Dallas for over 40 years.

This letter and video announcement is sent to share that DSC is moving our annual Convention away from Dallas for a few years beginning in 2025. The City of Dallas recently announced a multi-year plan to demolish and rebuild the Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center, the site of our event for the last 14 years. While there is excitement about a state-of-the-art facility here in Dallas, this massive project requires DSC to find a new home for our Convention for 2025-2029 until construction is complete.

After a comprehensive review of 32 locations spanning Texas and across the US, we are excited to announce that the 2025-2029 DSC Conventions will be held in Atlanta, GA, at the Georgia World Congress Center. Our intense search and evaluation considered convention center facilities, hotels, amenities, international airport access, and regional outdoor lifestyle demographics. We are extremely confident that the Georgia World Congress Center will be the premier site to deliver successful DSC Conventions to come!

Dates for the DSC Conventions in Atlanta will not change from those previously published, and we are certain as a valued partner, you will continue to enjoy the southern hospitality, which has long been a hallmark of the DSC Convention. Atlanta representatives will be on hand at the 2024 Convention in Dallas to provide a wealth of information about the convention center, the city, and their commitment to assisting DSC in delivering a world-class experience.

In addition to the annual Conventions to be held in Atlanta from 2025-2029, DSC is excited to announce that 2025 we will begin hosting a second convention in Dallas each summer. Aligned with the DSC Foundation Gala, this Expo will feature many of our valued Exhibitor Partners, include evening events, and culminate with the annual DSC Foundation Gala on Saturday night.

While Dallas will always be home, and we are very excited about the future of the new Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center, DSC looks forward to the opportunity to take the greatest hunting and conservation show on the road for a few years. We cannot wait to see you in Dallas January 11-14, 2024, and encourage you to please make plans to join us in Atlanta beginning in 2025!
